Two Bags of Spicy Bean Curd, No More Than That

When the Three Clans put aside their conflicts and the land welcomed a long-awaited peace, the vast and boundless Primordial Land had already been ravaged and riddled with holes, beyond recognition.

Some beings, feeling guilty, took the initiative to repair the ley lines, while others remained indifferent, adopting a "not my problem" attitude.

Many beings didn't even realize that when they began to repair the earth's veins, the Heavenly Dao stopped bestowing Merit upon them as a reward.

Unbeknownst to them, they had unknowingly taken on a heavy burden of sin.

This is Heavenly Dao's punishment for them!

When the Houtu Tribe noticed that things were gradually calming down, Miss Houtu told everyone to be patient and then went out to investigate first.

She visited Purple Jade Mountain and discovered that Nuwa had already emerged from seclusion.

When Little Yellow Dragon saw Miss Houtu arrive, he waved enthusiastically to her from afar, greeting her and obediently calling her "Master's Wife".

Upon hearing the title "Master's Wife," Qingqiu Li silently observed Wu Chu, as if to say, "You call Houtu 'Master's Wife,' but when it comes to me, it's 'Senior.' What does this mean?"

Wu Chu coughed lightly, not explaining to Qingqiu Li, pretending not to see the look in Qingqiu Li's eyes, and instead looked at Miss Houtu, "Sister, you're here!"

Houtu nodded, looked at Nuwa and the others, and asked, "Sister, you've emerged from seclusion! Has the war between the Three Clans ended?"

Nuwa and the others nodded, and Wu Chu then shared their speculations with Houtu.

After listening, the young woman said, "In that case, I'll go back to the tribe first to reassure everyone. See you later!"

The young lady came and went as she pleased, catching everyone completely off guard.

Qingqiu Li also stood up and said, "It has been a long time since I returned to Qingqiu. I must go back and visit. Fellow Daoists, I hope we will meet again someday. Farewell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingqiu Li flew out of Purple Jade Mountain, causing Wu Chu's lips to twitch involuntarily.

Nuwa raised an eyebrow at Wu Chu and smiled, "A Chu, aren't you going to see him off?"

Wu Chu coughed lightly, wanting to say: What's the point of giving her anything? I won't tolerate her bad habit!

But after thinking about it, he still got up and said, "I'll be right back!"

The Little Yellow Dragon, who was practicing calligraphy with a brush in the pavilion not far away, secretly glanced in the direction of the Main Hall, and then quietly asked Bai Ze, who was sitting next to him, holding a cup of milk tea in his little paws and staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, "Senior Brother Bai Ze, what's going on? Why did Senior Qingqiu seem very angry when he left just now?"

Bai Ze glanced at him sideways, stretched out its little paw, and tried to extend the three toes in its paw, but it still looked like a fluffy little fist.

Little Yellow Dragon pursed his lips, looking pained, and pulled out a handful of spicy Exploding Bean Curd with sugar and a little chili salt from his sleeve.

"A handful, no more!" Little Yellow Dragon said with a pained expression, "Master won't let me eat more of this now, saying it's bad for my health."

"Your hands are small, three handfuls, no less!" Bai Ze said. "Also, your master was just fooling you. Although you're still young, this stuff isn't harmful to your body. It's just that if you eat so many Fish Beans, everyone else will eat less. Little Moon Spirit dotes on you and leaves most of the Spicy Pop-Bean Curd for you. That's too biased, there's no love in it!"

"Didn't Sister Yueling specially make you milk tea? If you say that, I'll tell Sister Yueling later." Little Yellow Dragon chuckled slyly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze glanced at him sideways, raised his little head, and snorted, "Believe it or not, next time you have combat class, I'll have Big Red give it to me to teach?"

Little Yellow Dragon paused for a moment, then put down his brush in distress, shook his hand, and said, "But I just love this taste! Although Sugar-Roasted Chestnuts, Candied Hawthorn, roasted pine nuts, and dried persimmons seem pretty good, they're still not as delicious as these Fish Beans."

"So everyone's calling you Beanie Dragon isn't wrong!"

"If you keep calling me that, I'm going to lower the price. I might as well not ask anymore."

"Alright, alright, three rounds, that's the lowest I can go!"

"..."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Little Yellow Dragon had no choice but to obediently share his snacks with Bai Ze. Bai Ze coughed lightly, flicked his paw to collect the Exploding Bean Curd, then looked around and transmitted his voice to Little Yellow Dragon: "Next time Senior Qingqiu comes to Purple Jade Mountain, you should call her 'Master's Wife' too, she'll definitely be happy!"

"..."

Little Yellow Dragon was a little confused, seemingly not understanding the connection, but he quickly came to his senses. Although he still looked like a young dragon, he was still a dragon that was ten or twenty thousand years old, so he could figure out the relationship.

So he stared wide-eyed and transmitted his voice, "So, Senior Qingqiu also likes my master?"

"What's so strange about that? There are plenty of people who like your master here on Purple Jade Mountain. Like Little Moon Spirit! Your Teacher Rain! And Little White Big Red..."

Upon hearing this, Little Yellow Dragon's eyes widened again. "Do they also want to be my master's wife?"

Bai Ze glanced around again and chuckled, "Little White and Big Red might not dare to think that way, but Little Moon Spirit and your Teacher Yu, especially your Teacher Yu, definitely think that way. If you don't believe me, try secretly calling your Teacher Yu 'Teacher's Wife' next time and see her reaction!"

Little Yellow Dragon was somewhat tempted by Bai Ze's encouragement, but seeing Bai Ze's sly smile, he felt that Bai Ze might have ill intentions, so he decisively shook his head, "I won't listen to your lies!"

"A pack of Spicy Pop-Bean Curd!" Bai Ze raised one of his claws, though it was still hard to tell whether the fluffy little claw was actually raised.

Little Yellow Dragon was somewhat tempted upon hearing this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"Two packs, that's the most I can have. I only get one pack of Exploding Bean Curd a month."

"Okay! Deal!"

While Little Yellow Dragon was secretly making a deal with Bai Ze, Wu Chu and Qingqiu Li had already clasped hands. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Even if the Three Clans fight to the death, they won't harm Qingqiu in the slightest. You've been in seclusion for so long without any worries..."

When Qingqiu Li saw Wu Chu asking a question he already knew the answer to, she got so angry that she reached out and pinched his waist, perhaps she learned it from Miss Houtu.

Then, with Yin Yang laugh, he said, "Oh, so it's your teacher's wife! You call her that so affectionately!"

I knew it would be like this!

Wu Chu coughed lightly, then smiled and said, "Then let's go back now and make that Little Doudou dragon change its address and call you 'Master's Wife'. Are you satisfied?"

"Ha! As if I care about it that much!"

"You don't care, but I do!"

Wu Chu tried to pull her back, but she gently pulled him along and he bumped into her. So he took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist and press himself against her back.

With Wu Chu pressing against and embracing her like that, Qingqiu Li's body stiffened slightly.
